I was listening to my favorite radio show a few nights ago and they were discussing the different types of guys that most woman fall for quickly, but end up getting hurt over. One of the types that really stood out to me was "The Romantic Flame-out"
You are probably wondering what a that is right?
Well a "Romantic Flame-out" is the type of guy that starts off with being overly romantic, they tell you they are head over heals in love with you, will introduce you to the family, buy you gifts, chocolate or anything your heart desires, they confess their undying love on a daily basis. Sounds perfect right? Wrong!
These types of guys will do all these things for a short period of time, just long enough to get you hooked, make you fall in love, and then they get bored, kick you to the curb and move on to their next victim. Why do they get bored? These guys are attracted to the chase, they like to wow their woman and then once they have done that and they don't have to chase anymore it gets boring to them. It's a game. A dirty, dirty game that usually ends up in intense heartbreak.
I have had an experience with one of these types of guys. When you first meet them they seem perfect. Maybe to perfect.
Has anyone else had an experience with a ''Romantic Flame-out"?

Thankfully - I have never had this experience ;)
My last boyfriend was kind of like this - always telling me how much he cared/loved me, making promises he couldn't keep, wining and dining me, etc. As soon as I left for school though, he gave up on making me happy and started making another girl happy instead, without officially ending things with me. Needless to say, he's not my boyfriend anymore and I'm much more wary of people that come on strongly.
I'm still trying to work out if he is one -_-'
Yes!
Yes. I dealt with a guy somewhat like that. In fact, I dealt with two. They were so quick to confess their love me, kept telling me the same crap over and over again...And it just got so boring. They thought it was a game and ended up with THEIR hearts "broken".
Sounds like my high school, early post-high school relationships.
Bloody hell, you've just described me...

Haha. I know someone who used to be like that. He used to love the chase until he found the one. :))
nope, i dont think
I've never been with a guy who wasn't like that.
oh many guys are like that? haha. thankfully im not
i know a few guys here and there like that but they learn quickly when they're the last man standing.
had it. best relationship i have ever had - til it ended. wont lie, i'm still heartbroken over it
I actually feel that if it's "too good to be true", it probably is. I know people aren't perfect and when I'm looking for a suitable mate, I'm looking for someone who isn't afraid to show me his good AND bad qualities. Yeah, we like to try and put our best foot forward and be polite and go out of our way to impress but I like to take my time and to really talk and get to know the person. If there's a lot of doing but not a lot of connecting, then I think something's wrong.
The guy I'm going out with right now is quite the opposite,
he's trying his best to be more romantic, and he's doing a good job.
What would you call that? Cuz, I really don't know.
I gotta say, I am quite lucky.
story of my life.
but, i don't blame them.
i've been the girlfriend version of this more than once.
I have space/commitment issues and I've never dated a guy who acts like this. I may be the female version of it though?
I like being chased and the puppydog feeling so I think it sort of works for me with these guys that like chasing. then we both get bored and move on to someone new to repeat the same first stage of chased and be chased. games are fun. instead of watching soap operas and reality tv shows, I like to live it. I'm too immature to settle down so I won't until I'm ready or when I find someone worth settling for.
I think I might be in a relationship like that now. He was supernice with me before, but now he's complaining about every small detail, starting fights, accusing me of wanting to fight when he finally gets me to respond, he breaks up with me,changes his mind half an hour later,and then begs me to take him back.
I liked how he made me feel before and that's why i'm still hanging around, hoping that that person is who he is, but i'm getting tired of him pushing me around like that.
I don't want to break up with him, so I'll be distancing myself emotionally until his actions doesn't hurt me anymore
I left my then-boyfriend of four years for one of these a$$hats. They seriously mess with your mind.
i apparently am a romantic flame-out.
wish they would have chosen a less gay name.
Yeah, my mother in law is stuck with that type of man- an a*hole. But she is a bitch so I guess they even each other out.
I wouldn't date someone too cheesy,even though I have and that's exactly why I left him =)
Omg Yes! But my guy has yet to move on. I try to keep it interesting to make him stay. But...it's really hard. Hopefully I can hold on though because I'm really head-over-heels for this guy.
i thought my girlfriend was perfect. but after awhile she stopped talking to me, after a very long time she finally said to me
"you aren't the sam i once knew. and your not funny or kind anymore/"
WTF?! i asked everyone else and they all said i was me the way i had always been me. i was a little down in the dumps because she wouldnt respond to anything i said. but hey, i was still the funny easy going sam. i guess she didnt think so anymore? idk
oh well. it taught me a lesson....wait before you love someone. because the feelings she felt for me seemed to die in a year. ka-klunk ='[
oh well.
Ugh, yes.
